This is a great solution for me. I had issues with my Prolific USB to Serial driver that kept on crashing resulting in me not getting the data stream from my Pylontech batteries. I got fed up to pull the cable out and push it back in every single day. I had the same issue when I had my PI running with ICC. The usb to serial driver kept on crashing. I had to either restart or unplug the serial cable every single day. I eventually found a pc with an onboard serial port and this issue disappeared. Paired with a coms cable between my Pylontech RS458 to my Axpert king I never had any issues since I started using this in December 2020. I run AnyDesk on the PC so I can do anything remotely with my phone. Another great thing that I introduced was Wi-Fi smart plugs and switches. I can now remotely switch on and of my fridges etc to help me get through load shedding if there's cloudy days, even if I am not at home.
